Hello all,
 
I am working with a 40-something Hispanic male with a transtibial amputation.  He has chosen to have a flat black socket color & likes the look of the endoskeletal components, but he hates the Caucasian footshell, & is too light colored for the brown footshell.  He has requested information about having his footshell airbrushed to better match his skin tone as he likes to wear sandals in the summer.
 
Any info on this matter is greatly appreciated.
Rick
